Sorry to hear that. From your post and others it seems that Disability laws need to be looked at too since people that really need it can't get it, and fairly able people like those I know manage somehow to get it and keep it.I'm bi-polar, without my medication I have anger and anxiety issues which cost me employment. With my medication I fall asleep at work and get fired for that. Additionally I tend to slip up and have conversations with people they think is weird and they try to get me fired. Once I was fired for something I posted on Facebook about Muslims all wanting a world wide caliphate peaceful or not on my own time on my own computer.
I can't walk or stand for long because my foot has multiple fractures and I have neuropathy that allows me to break bones in my feet without feeling them break. When I do walk I run out of stamina and breath after about 100 meters, maybe less than that. I can't buy groceries or stand in line.
They won't give me disability because I can still do a desk job.
My sister has liver psoriasis no gallbladder and dribbles blood during her bi-weekly periods. She can't breath, has constant heart burn and uses a motorized wheel chair to buy groceries. She's been fighting for disability for 4 years. She hasn't had a job longer than that.
This is the the way it is from the last time someone decided to look at the disability laws. These folk know that most people are going to look at the letter of denial and accept it. When you are looking at someone with severe mental health issues, brain damage or cognitive delays they know that they aren't going to be able to follow through with paperwork, doctor's appointments etc. and so on. I used to have it set up so that no matter what I had to do as soon as one individual got paperwork in the mail that I would take a two hour drive to fill out the paperwork because the person could not write and then fax it that night so that these clowns got the paperwork before the time limit.
Now everyone is real skippy on a work requirement for SNAP but there is an entire group of individuals that can't hold down jobs and are denied SSI. People need to pay attention to where they are going. These are things that really needed to be worked on and it's unfortunate that we can't do that with the current government.
